Durian Mille Crepe
Lobby Lounge is bringing a flare of the European culture into its cake of the month for July. Crepe (known in France), Pannkaka (known in Sweden) or Crespella (known in Italy) have been traditionally served since the ancient times of the Renaissance. Combining daily ingredients like flour, eggs, milk, butter and a pinch of salt, this batter is then cooked in thin layers, like pancakes. Multiple crepe layers are then stacked, sandwiched between layers of durian cream filling and lightly dusted with icing sugar and garnished with fresh strawberries. Available at Grand Seasons Hotel throughout July, the Durian Mille Crêpe is priced at RM7 per slice or RM68 for the whole cake. This little cozy corner cafe serves a wide range of tempting and delicious cakes and slices alongside selection of sandwiches, loaves and freshly baked pastries.
